The association between marital status and generalized trust in other people was investigated. The public health survey in Skane 2008 is a cross-sectional study including 28,198 persons (55% participation rate) aged 18-80 in southern Sweden. Logistic regression models investigated associations between marital status and trust, adjusting for age, country of birth, education, emotional support, inst
Climatic fire danger will likely increase because more droughts and heat-waves are caused by climate change. Climate change can shift fires from occurring only rarely to regularly in ecosystems not until now adapted to fire. We applied dynamic vegetation-fire models to investigate these future responses. The future of fire in Mediterranean-type ecosystems depends strongly on changes in vegetation
Under climate change conditions, climatic wildfire danger could also increase in ecosystems not dominated by fires until now. This increasing trend could lead to more area burned in the future. We have developed an algorithm to map new fire-prone areas in Europe and Northern Africa that identifies grid points where a rare fire event is becoming the mean at the end of the 21st century. When applyin
Collective harm cases are situations in which things will become worse if enough acts of a certain kind are performed but no single act of the relevant kind will make a difference to the outcome. The inefficacy argument says that since one such act does not make a difference to the outcome, you have no outcome-related reason to refrain from acting in this way. If this argument holds, you have no cCollective harm cases are situations in which things will become worse if enough acts of a certain kind are performed but no single act of the relevant kind will make a difference to the outcome.

Den här avhandlingen syftar till att utforska politiseringen av mark på lokal nivå i Kenya. Avhandlingen visar hur tillgång till mark legitimeras via berättelser om egendom (property) och tillhörighet (belonging). Begreppet djup politik (deep politics) används för att visa hur de här berättelserna inte bara förändrar synen på mark utan också synen på politik.De empiriska kapitlen beskriver hur sta
This presentation builds on several ethnographic fieldworks (2011-2015) in southern Sweden on people who have Palestinian background as well as my on-going informal involvement with Palestinian networks.

Performing risk assessments for hierarchical, multi-functional systems, such as a municipality, is an activity that requires input from a multitude of actors. In such systems risk assessments can be performed at many system levels and support different types of decisions. For issues that are constrained to a specific sub-system, such as a municipal department, decisions can be preferably taken at
Att dela med sig av det som växer i ens trädgård kan betraktas som en enkel, vardaglig vänskapsgest eller helt enkelt ett sätt att bli av med något man inte själv har användning för. Det kan emellertid också ses som inslag i större och vidare sammanhang. Ett sätt att tolka fenomenet är att se det som del i en delningsekonomi; ett begrepp som under senare år allt oftare kommit att användas om de fr
A large literature documents how intergenerational mobility—the degree to which (dis)advantage is passed on from parents to children—varies across and within countries. Less is known about the origin or persistence of such differences. We show that US areas populated by descendants to European immigrants have similar levels of income equality and mobility as the countries their forebears came from
This study examines to what extent English speakers of L2 Dutch reconstruct the meanings of placement verbs when moving from a general L1 verb of caused motion (put) to two specific caused posture verbs (zetten/leggen ‘set/lay’) in the L2 and whether the existence of low-frequency cognate forms in the L1 (set/lay) alleviates the reconstruction problem. Evidence from speech and gesture indicates th
In recent years there has been significant research conducted into how predicted climate change scenarios could negatively impact wine grape quality across various regions in the world. This has highlighted the particularly vulnerable state of the wine industry to climate change, and the important role research in this area can play in identifying new knowledge and conceptual frameworks regarding
En central del av barnrättsperspektivet och barnets bästa är barn och ungas rätt att komma till tals i frågor som rör dem. Denna rättighet är särskilt viktig i samband med vård enligt LVU eftersom det är en av de allra mest ingripande åtgärder som staten genom sociala myndigheter kan vidta. Barns rätt att komma till tals är reglerad både i svensk rätt och internationella instrument. 36 § LVU stadg
The choice of exchange rate regime is believed to affect countries’ trade levels. Currency unions and currency pegs reduce exchange rate volatility and create greater price transparency in foreign trade compared to a flexible exchange rate regime. This paper analyzes the interplay between the choice of exchange rate regime and export levels by looking at the Western Balkans. A region with consider
Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing (2023) is a romantasy novel with a complex dragon society where dragons’ personalities, tempers and looks vary and affect each other. It is a new work of fiction, the first book in her still unfinished Empyrean series, and thus not many have had the chance to explore and discuss it in a formal capacity. The previous discussion is mainly made up of book reviews, and the
This is a thesis about rural consciousness, a theory that rural people see themselves as different than city people, deprived of resources and not represented in politics. Through a qualitative comparative method, a case study based on interviews of locals is conducted on Gotland, Sweden, with inspiration from Katherine J. Cramer’s previous research in Wisconsin, USA from 2016. The results from th

Studiens syfte var att belysa hur psykoterapeuter förhåller sig till och påverkas av döden som ämne i psykoterapi med cancerpatienter. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med sex legitimerade psykoterapeuter med erfarenhet av att arbeta med patienter som diagnosticerats med cancer. Intervjumaterialet analyserades med Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), vilket resulterade i fyra huThe aim of this study was to explore how psychotherapists approach and are affected by death as a topic in psychotherapy with cancer patients. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six psychotherapists with experience in working with patients diagnosed with cancer. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyze the data, and four main themes were identified: Death come
Through this study were discussed the main issues regarding consumer compensation of damages which they suffer due to the infringements of the EU competition rules. In the first chapter of the study were discussed the issues of rise of the right to damages, the questions whether consumers as end purchasers have the right to claim damages in the EU, which was answered in the positive. Furthermore,
Enligt 2 kap 2 § socialtjänstlagen (2001:453) har kommunen det yttersta ansvaret för att de som vistas i kommunen får det stöd och den hjälp som de behöver. Det innebär bland annat att vård och omsorg är en offentlig angelägenhet och ett offentligt ansvar. Trots det är den vård som utförs av anhöriga och andra närstående personer en betydande och, till följd av nedskärningar i den kommunala omsorgArticle 2 § 2 in the Social Services Act (2001:453) declares that the municipality has the ultimate responsibility to see to that the individuals in the municipality receive the support and help they need. This means that health care is a public concern and a public responsibility. Despite this regulation, the care provided by relatives is, as a result of cuts in municipal care, a significant and
